## Resource

Understanding the Adrenaline Hangover When you experience a panic attack, your system is flooded with adrenaline and cortisol . Even after the "threat" is gone, these chemicals take time to clear, often leaving you feeling emotionally grey, achy, or tearful. This isn't a sign of weakness; it is your body performing essential "clean-up work".

The storm has passed and I am safe." "I am allowed to rest now. The work is done." "What I am feeling is not weakness, it is recovery. My nervous system is intelligent and it is healing." 3 Daily Caring Tips for Recovery Feed the Recovery: Your blood sugar often drops after a high-adrenaline event. Eat something small and nourishing—like a banana or a handful of nuts—to give your body the fuel it needs to finish the "clean-up". Don't Analyze It Yet: Avoid the urge to replay or "fix" the event immediately. Your thinking is still distorted by clearing cortisol; give yourself until tomorrow to process. Tell Your Body It’s Over: Use gentle physical movement, like a warm shower or a slow walk, to help flush remaining stress hormones from your bloodstream.
